View and remove EXIF metadata from a photo
Before posting a photo on social media, a classifieds site or a forum, check whether it contains sensitive EXIF data — in particular GPS coordinates that reveal where the photo was taken (your home, for example). 100% local processing in your browser (WebAssembly) — your photo is never sent to a server.
How it works
Every photo taken with a smartphone or a camera often embeds EXIF metadata invisible on display: camera model, precise date and time, shooting settings, and sometimes exact GPS coordinates. Import your photo, click "Read EXIF metadata" to see everything it contains, then download a cleaned copy before publishing it if you'd rather not share this information.
Why check GPS data before publishing a photo?
If your phone's GPS was enabled at the time of shooting, the photo may contain the exact latitude and longitude of the location — your home, your children's vacation spot, etc. These coordinates remain readable by anyone who retrieves the original file, even if they aren't shown in the preview. Many social networks already strip EXIF data on upload, but sending by email or messaging generally keeps this data intact.
What exactly does the "Download a copy without metadata" button do?
It re-decodes the image and then re-saves it entirely: this process doesn't copy any EXIF metadata into the new file, producing a visually identical image but completely stripped of hidden information (device, date, GPS).
100% local processing: reading and removing the metadata happens entirely in your browser via WebAssembly — your photo is never sent to a server.
